Patience

All Good Things Come To Those Who Are Patient! Can I Nurture? Can I Love? Can I Grow? Can I Be Patient Till The Time Is Right?

Imam Husayn (a) is an exemplar of patience. He did everything for the love of Allah. His patience is one to be desired. In all times, he remained patient. Let us strive in Allah’s way by adopting this beautiful quality.

Your memory ayah from the Quran to guide you in instilling this value is Surat al Baqarah, (2:153), “O you who believe! Seek help through patience and prayer, surely Allah is with the patient.”
